Entanglement Demonstrated in Superconducting Qubits UCSB|IBM In Science313, 5792 and concurrent PhysicsWeb, Scientific American reviews, Martiniset al. report experimental verification of entanglement between two superconducting qubits. "By using simultaneous measurement and state tomography, we demonstrated entanglement between two solid-state qubits. Single qubit operations and capacitive coupling between two super-conducting phase qubits were used to generate a Bell-type state. Full two-qubit tomography yielded a density matrix showing an entangled state with fidelity up to 87%. Our results demonstrate a high degree of unitary control of the system, indicating that larger implementations are within reach."
